Are you using Simple File Sharing on XP-Pro machines?
If so, then what you describe:
( shares accessible, but machine will not enumerate it's shares, error is
'Access Denied' )
sounds like a problem with the RestrictAnonymous setting.
Try this for a fix:
On the machine you are trying to contact, go to:
start | Run | type 'Regedit' in the box.
On the left hand pane, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\
In the LSA folder, look in the right-hand pane.
look for the value 'RestrictAnonymous'.
It needs to be zero.
If it is not, double-click it and set it to zero.
( The value of RestrictAnonymousSam can be left at 1. )
Close regedit, and re-boot the server machine.
See if that helps.
